Non-engineered natural lab origin
It’s possible a lab worker was infected by a bat virus whilst collecting/handling bat samples - but i doubt it.
Why? Coz we’ve never seen a coronavirus this contagious and deadly before.
It’s important to remember that a coronavirus is the common-cold. The key word is common - but relatively harmless (flu being the one you have to worry about). The common cold has been with humans/animals since our time here began. We pass it around to each other. That may even be a good thing.
But then, with the funding splurge that followed Anthrax, scientists increasingly began playing around with viruses at bio-defense/weapons labs to enhance their lethality ( to protect us - firstly against all the bio-terrorists that were lurking in every cave - when that petered out on the algorithm as a fear-effect, bio-scientists went all natural suddenly - to protect against potential future outbreaks ... )
Lo ‘n behold, 20 years ago, SARS, the first ever deadly cold in the history of humans, appeared. The origin of which has never been adequately explained - due to a well-documented cover-up. Even the greatest CCP-apologist-scientists such as Farrar, Daszak, Lipkin, Andersen, Holmes, Koopmans, Tedros and Dwyer refer to how much more open and transparent the CCP is this time - compared to SARS-1. Basically they're saying if you think Covid's origin is murky - get a load of SARS.
An interesting exercise would be to put the increase in study/funding of bioweapons/defense pathogens on a graph - then put it next to the increase in the emergence of deadly pathogens. Guessing you’re gonna see an uncanny similarity in trajectories.
Although it's possible that it's all another coincidence, the most plausible explanation for how the common-cold made this astonishing transformation from harmless to killing millions is: human engineering (The oft-used Celebrity Scientists' claim that climate-change caused it - doesn't make sense.)
Worryingly, if it was engineered, can we put this genie back in the bottle?
Potentially, these are GoF leaps-to-lethality that the virus never would have made of its own accord
- if only it’d been left alone -
